Do you charge for kids?

We have 2 homes- in one of them we take kids over 10 years old and we charge them adult fee ( not to many requests). In our other home we take all ages. If the child (1 per couple) sleeps wth parents we charge one time fee of $20 for apartment or $10 for a bedroom to cover extra cleaning. If child is 3+ and takes separate bed or if the couple is travelling with 2 or more kids we charge full adult rate for each child.

This is our new policy as before we did not charge for up to 3 yers olds and only $15 for older kids. I just had enough washing walls and furniture and taking hours to bring place to livable condition. Our new policy should discourage the "budget" parents who thinks that travel is a right and not the privilage.

The best is when we get requests that  ask for 1 room for a couple and their 2 or 3 children asking for a quote. I aways send them a note asking for the ages and most of the times the kids tur out to be 17, 20 and even 26 years old!
